Re: Shadow Priest DPS!

Illustration is the best in slot trinket for a shadow priest. 200 sp is priceless in comparison to crit and on chance sp. Even if you're lucky with procs every 45 seconds (never happens), 200 constant sp averages out to be far superior to the chance on hit.

Crit provides a higher net benefit than haste, but they scale each other. Most Spriests I see socket +9SP/+8crit in their yellow sockets and +19SP in their red sockets (with two token blue gems somewhere for the meta), and then balance haste into the mix through gear.

You don't have 3000 in a raid, not even close. With that bad gear.

Get a meta gem as your first priority ever. And stop using 4 piece T7.

Edit: With that much spell power in a raid, you should be able to do much higher dps. I can do around 3400 with 1970 self buffed spell power. You are seriously lacking hit if you wear the gear config currently on your armory.

That said, 3500 dps is meaningless. On some fights its low, on others its high. On yet others mind sear does high DPS without actually contributing meaningfully to the fight. Searing junk adds on sarth, being the only AEr on gluth.

Skillwise there is really just landing VT so they overlap as much as possible (doesn't add / subtract that much DPS if you just wait) and having a good rotation during heroism: flay more with heroism/bloodlust, over refreshing DP/VT. Knowing when to death and when to not bother deathing helps a ton. Basically if you can flay it should always do more dps than death, but there are situations where that isn't true or you can't flay. Not many.

Like many other prolly have mentioned do something about your rotation.Only cast SW:P when u have 5 stacks of shadow weaving... VT - DP - MF(clip when u have the 2 stacks) - MB - SW:P
